You're argument is irrelevant, no one is arguing that an inkjet print isn't
sharper than a darkroom print, no matter WHAT the original image source
is...your comparison is invalid.  You are NOT comparing digital to film by
doing such.  Everyone else is talking about FILM vs digital, not darkroom
prints vs inkjet prints.

I've done it probably many hundred times.  My images from my film cameras
are EQUALLY as sharp as my high end digital cameras, which, mind you, are
higher end than a D60.

Well, and I don't mean to be mean, but that's because it comes across that
you don't "get it"...and keep saying the same thing over and over...
